Massive attack have undoubtedly broken through many barriers whilst creating their own amazinf form of music attracting many admirers and many imitators, whom never quite manage to acheive the same success. This album demonstrates them at their peak with hit after hit showing their diverse msucial talents and roots. The classic massive attack anthem unfinsished symphony, everybody has heard and knows this song tops off a fantastic collection of current and past songs. The new song live with me shows that they are not passed their best as they deliver another classic, with a slow groove and an amazing vocal perfromance. There are some amazing vocal performances on this album and they on their own demand listening. However the only place this album falls down are in some of the older tracks, no doubting they are worth a listen but what was once groundbreaking now can sound boring and dated and occasionally, very occasionally, the song length can drag. But this is what has set them apart from the crowd they are not about releasing 3 minute pop tunes every 5 minutes they are in it for the music and their care and craft is there to be seen and demands some attention.
